Scott- does your friend know if he's got the old or new grip style on the p250, they had a lot of QC issues at first. They redesigned the gun and the easiest way is by looking at the grip.
See the attached photo.

Thanks! He's on travel right now, but I'll save the link and send it to him when he comes back.

When you talk about "QC" issues, are they anything he can do anything about (like outstanding recalls)? Or should he just keep an eye out for problems in general?
